Statement
Part 5 of the follow-up, correcting PR #116's finding that covert blocking leaves her correct — true only when silence has the same likelihood in every world. `correct_silence_iff` is the posterior form.

Notes
Filed by the map-as-canonical round (prompts/2026-10-22-map-as-canonical) from the registry entry and the declaration's signature; its hypotheses are unread (ruling F1, 2026-10-23): the record's Source carries the signature verbatim, and a reader files the hypothesis leaves. Registry note: Part 5 of the follow-up, correcting PR #116's finding that covert blocking leaves her correct — true only when silence has the same likelihood in every world. correct_silence_iff is the posterior form. Inhabited both ways: the eight-world fixture's uniform silence (correct), and Witness.informative_silence_not_correct (silence at 1/2 and 1/4 — not correct, not weakly transparent). The registry's answers_item is the priorities pointer to item 107 (ruling F2).
Bridge card
Connected to no informal claim yet: held by authorship-and-transparency.
Declaration Workspace.Deference.Contrib.ThinLegitimacy.covert_blocking_correct_iff in lean/Workspace/Deference/Contrib/ThinLegitimacy.lean (record thin.covert-blocking-correct-iff.record)
Registry thin.covert-blocking-correct-iff: class lean-proved, status active, review ci-only, origin round 2026-10-01-thin-legitimacy-and-effective-authority; bears on item 107
The statement of record of `thin.covert-blocking-correct-iff` formalizes the registered claim as the registry reads it: Covert blocking leaves her correct iff silence is uninformative: her coherent credence at the always-read record is the actual conditional iff her model's likelihood of it is constant on the prior's support.
Hypotheses: unread (the record's Source carries the signature; a reader files them).
Completeness (thin.covert-blocking-correct-iff.complete): No premise beyond the signature's binders enters the declaration; the kernel checks it as stated. The result is the record, this leaf and the bridge, and its hypotheses are unread: the record's Source carries the signature verbatim and no hypothesis leaf is filed until a reader files one.
